In this paper, we present the results of a functional software size measurement experiment.
We have conducted this experiment to analyze variances in functional software size …

Accuracy of the functional size is critical in software project management, since functional
size is the most prevalent input for effort and cost estimation models. Functional size …

Having been improved, evolved and standardized by the Organiza-tion for Standardization
(ISO), Functional Size Measurement (FSM) methods have become widely used. However …

This paper proposes a new metric for software functional size, which is derived from
Function Point Analysis (FPA), but overcomes some of its known deficiencies. The statistical …

This paper evaluates the impact of functional similarities on the relation between functional
size and software development effort. The estimation of the required effort cannot be …

The accuracy of functional size measuring is critical in software project management,
because it is one of the key inputs for effort and cost estimation models. The functional size …

Software Functional size allows the application of engineering principles to software
development, which provides an objective and quantitative base for management decisions …

Although functional size is the primary input for effort and cost estimation formulas, the
relation between functional size and development effort does not always hold in practice …

In this study, we identified one of the reasons of the low correlation between functional size
and development effort which is overlooking the similarity of the functions during the …
